I think you're missing the point.
If a friend stated that they will stay with their partner regardless of how deceptive or abusive said partner's behaviour becomes, you would rightly question the wisdom of that choice.
Stating that you will remain loyal to a company come what may is even worse. It's an entity with no interest in your wellbeing. It exists to extract as much money or information from you as possible.
Quite apart from everything else, such a statement eliminates the prospect of ever finding something better.
For folks that still like the win32 ecosystem, they should pirate the heck out of LTSC. just as Microsoft don't have interest in them, they shouldn't give a damn about it and enjoy a dramatically polished Windows experience.
and microsoft makes it so easy to pirate too, trivially easy.
Its not though - I dont want to write my own operating system, build an ecosystem of apps, write hardware drivers, etc.
Win11 has massive downsides, so does macOS, so does desktop Linux, so do all the other options - I have to choose between one of those options to get things done, going my own isnt an option.
At no point did I suggest that you build your own OS. To extend my tortured analogy, that would be like suggesting you grow your own spouse.
I disagree - with a spouse I have the option of just not having one.
